Synopsis:
DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY is a film that grabs life by the ball. The story's protagonist, Peter LaFleur (VINCE VAUGHN), is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average Joe's. The facility's clientele of decidedly less-than-average Joes is made up of a self-styled pirate, a scrawny nerd who dreams of impressing an unattainable cheerleader, an obsessive aficionado of obscure sports, a dim-witted young man, and a cocky know-it-all who, of course, really knows nothing.Peter's humble gym catches the eye of White Goodman (BEN STILLER), the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-Manchu-d, egomaniacal owner of Globo Gym, a gleaming monolith of fitness. White intends to take over Average Joe's, and Peter's non-existent bookkeeping is making it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank has stationed attorney Kate Veatch (Christine Taylor) inside Average Joe's to finalize Globo's takeover of the gym. Peter's boyish charms win her over and Kate joins his team of social rejects to beat the odds - and their own ineptitude - to try to save Average Joe's. How? A showdown dodgeball competition against Globo Gym.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
It's perfect. It's funny. Get out of the way, DodgeBall is a hit! raves ABC-TV film critic Joel Siegel about the new Ben Stiller comedy DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story. Then there's Mark Caro in the Chicago Tribune, who calls it Ben Stiller's fourth stinker of 2004. In between, there's Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Daily News, who describes it as an agreeably stupid comedy. Most of the critics appear to agree with Whipp.
